About Guitar Amps - capacitor value conversion chart

Capacitor values are very often marked in different ways.

The chart below allows you to convert capacitor values easily. For example - A capacitor marked as 100n (100nF) will be the same value as a capacitor marked as 0.1u (0.1uF)

Microfarads uF = 1 Farad x 10-6	Nanofarads nF = 1 Farad x 10-9	Picofarads pF = 1 Farad x 10-12
0.000001	0.001	1
0.00001	0.01	10
0.0001	0.1	100
0.001	1	1000
0.01	10	10000
0.1	100	100000
1	1000	1000000
10	10000	10000000
100	100000	100000000

As you can see from the chart above Capacitor values are measured in Farads, but because a Farad is such a huge value it's not very usable, so values are measured in:

Microfarads (uF) which is a Farad divided by 1,000,000
Nanofarads (nF) which is a Farad divided by 1,000,000,000
Picofards (pF) which is a Farad divided by 1,000,000,000,000

"I have taught guitar
for over 25 years.
I now use the
Riff Master Pro
every single day.
Over the years it
was important to
teach the essentials
of music such as
notation, scales etc"

"Though I could play
slow for them it was
time consuming and
cost them lesson time.
The RMP allows me
to burn the song to
a disk or mp3 player
and the student comes
back the next week
ecstatic they can play
the solo note for
note at half-speed.
